< Psalms 130 >
1 A Song of the going up. Out of the deep have I sent up my cry to you, O Lord.
A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths I have cried to you, Yahweh.
2 Lord, let my voice come before you: let your ears be awake to the voice of my prayer.
Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.
3 O Jah, if you took note of every sin, who would go free?
If you, Yah, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand?
4 But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be feared.
But there is forgiveness with you, therefore you are feared.
5 I am waiting for the Lord, my soul is waiting for him, and my hope is in his word.
I wait for Yahweh. My soul waits. I hope in his word.
6 My soul is watching for the Lord more than those who are watching for the morning; yes, more than the watchers for the morning.
My soul longs for the Lord more than watchmen long for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.
7 O Israel, have hope in the Lord; for with the Lord is mercy and full salvation.
Israel, hope in Yahweh, for there is loving kindness with Yahweh. Abundant redemption is with him.
8 And he will make Israel free from all his sins.
He will redeem Israel from all their sins.
